I think we got littermates 1.55 SB basic polish but I chose the WRH7 hollow handle. I think they even shipped at the same time.

Congrats Jimmy! That's great news....when you say "basic polished /matt" do you mean you ordered a combination of both finishes?

I am really enjoying my Wolfman WR2 DC 1.15 SB/1.25 SB.  I’ve done a lot of testing.  First couple of shaves I tested each gap on separate sides of my face.  The end results where identical, but the 1.15 required a little more touch up.  Frankly, I could just just shave and ignore the sides and probably not notice much.

Now I am using the 1.25 on my cheeks and North and south on my neck.  Goatee area and across my neck are the 1.15 - these are my more sensitive areas.  I am BBS every shave.

For tomorrow, I have shimmed it and will see what 1.35 feels like. 

A tip for SB/SB users.  I used a black Sharpie to mark the sides of base for 1.25.  It saves a lot of time having to flip the razor over to see the label.  I’ll do something more permanent later.  Maybe gun blue it.

Thank you Tester28, no, not a combination finish AFAIK. On the 'shop' page the drop down menu specifies mirror, brushed polished, either of those at an upcharge, or brushed basic/textured, or polished basic/matte at no extra charge.

I went with the polished matte rather than brushed textured, thinking it will be a shinier, smoother finish. IIRC someone in a post in this thread posted a photo of theirs and it looked pretty good.

Hope everyone gets their razors soon. My last couple of parcels from Canada came into the US and were processed in San Francisco...which added time in the eventual journey cross country to NJ. My first few razors from James a few years ago were processed in Chicago I believe and took on average a few days less to arrive. Either way it looks like it’s the home stretch for some of you guys. Congrats

Just checked my tracking # again to see if it updated ... I paid extra for expedited UPS ... Monday before the end of the day ... I'll be shaving with a 1.55 !!!

The suspense is building. Looking forward to hearing how the shave goes, JimmyH.

The man making things shiny!
